Widely being considered the best player in the NFL right now, and an actual fan of watching wrestling.
I know there was a past thread on here talking about how he stopped wrestling before high school so this may seem counterintuitive, but we need to accept that many guys that actually have NFL potential will stop wrestling to focus on football as they get older.
However I believe he has credited wrestling for helping him develop some of the traits that make him so dominant. Anyone have a link to a recent interview/article where he does this? Was hoping to send to a friend :)
But you can add him to the list of people in the NFL (Sean McDermott another) praising wrestling as helping develop elite football players. So even if wrestling loses some that truly have NFL or at least D1 football potential where you can’t really blame them, if more coaches and parents see the link between wrestling and football, wrestling could gain more younger participants.
